Our Lady's Rosary Text Vigil (update)

Our group has been revamped
and full circle back to our original hour. So the time that we unite and Pray The Rosary together is 9:00pm EST.
I figured I’d write this update trying to have all your questions and thoughts
you might like answered. I hope this is helpful.

Many have asked and many
have inquired. I did have another blog when I was on the road at night driving.
So today I have put together a blog fully explaining this wonderful group we
have in its current position. Our hope, our intention is to continue growing in
unity; so that more and more of us can unite and pray together each evening
Monday through Friday. What I have listed below is a bunch of question, some
have asked of me and others fill the gaps of explanation. I hope this very
helpful and I hope that you to consider joining with us each evening.

Monday – Friday at 9:00 PM EST.

Started in the Spring of
2009
Founded by: Jim Dacey Jr & Jan Martinez

How did Our Lady’s Rosary Text Vigil Group begin?Jan Martinez and I have been friends for a very long time. Back in
2009 her husband Dan had to go away for training for his job. So Jan called me
and asked if could chat with her to help pass the time each night; Jan don’t
like being home alone. I agreed and we did that for a couple nights. Then I
thought, “Hey why don’t we Pray The Rosary together during this
time each night?” Jan was thrilled with the idea and so we began to do just
that. Then when Dan returned home, I told Jan, “I will text you when I am about
to begin my Rosary, just text me back if you can begin to, if not text me what
time is best.” And so began our text group…

How did others learn of this and wish to join?

The days following our Rosary, Jan and I would speak of our
intentions and what happened during that time of prayer. Eventually others
started reading this saying, “Hey, I
didn’t see a Rosary posted last night, what are you guys talking about? How
can I be part of that?” And so little by little we have grown in devout
individuals interested in praying with us in this most unique (fun) intriguing
way.

What is it we do?Monday through Friday night we pray the 9pm EST (Eastern Standard Time) Rosary.

How do we communicate?I Jim (Rosary Man) Dacey Jr. personally text our members a
reminder at 8:30 in preparation for our 9pm start time. Some reply, but
replying isn't necessary.

What is the message I text?“ROSARY TIME: As a member of (Our Lady’s Rosary Text Vigil Group)
I personally invite you to PRAY THE ROSARY with us at 9pm EST. God Bless +JMJ+”

Do you send this text to any other place?Yes 2 places. 1 goes to our Facebook group in the private message
area, because those in that part of group, either don’t have a cell phone to
receive a text or they are outside the US. I found out recently that my phone
can text internationally as long as I get texted by you first. And the second place
I post a similar invitation is on my Facebook Ministry wall. https://www.facebook.com/RosaryManJimOPEN INVITATION to all…

What is the message I send
to the Ministry Wall?>>
